Dengue

Dengue fever, also known as the break bone fever, is a mosquito –borne disease caused by the dengue virus. It is transmitted by several species of mosquito within the genus Adese. Its symptoms include fever, headache vomiting, muscle and joint pain.

The Indian capital, Delhi, is in the grip of the worst outbreak of dengue in the last five years. More than 6000 cases have been recorded this year and are yet to increase. In several cases, it develops into a life threatening fever resulting in continuous bleeding, low level platelets, dangerously low blood pressure and damage of brain and immune system.

The students of AIS took the initiative at their level to create awareness for the prevention of Dengue fever. They designed meaningful posters through which they described the ways of preventing dengue like using mosquito repellents on all exposed areas , cleaning the coolers regularly, using covered dustbins etc.

The students of AIS wear long sleeves and full trousers regularly to school.

Prevention is better than cure. So knowing the worth of life, we should try to spread awareness to prevent the harmful effects of dengue
